Light line. Flat trail with large curve, small natural elements like roots and stones.

The tour starts at the dam in St. Valentin. In the beginning, the route runs on an asphalt road through St. Valentin to Dörfl to the fisherman's houses and on to Alsack. Here turn left to Plawenn and then take the forest road on the right towards Planeiler Alm. Up to the Planeiler Alm alpine hut you have to really pedal uphill to reach the stopover after about 8 km. On the way enjoy the view of the Malser Haide, the Marienberg monastery and the Ortler group. The alpine hut offers some fresh milk and the traditional South Tyrolean bacon - Speck. With a full stomach, take the alpine path in the direction of Planeil valley to the Planeil stream called - Puni. After a rough, quite steep descent, reach the quaint village of Planeil. From Planeil, the asphalt road leads back to Ulten and Alsack and back to St. Valentin dam.

On the Haideralm Trail the trails of the 3-Country region shows there full power and technical level. This trail is the most difficult trail. The trail passes directly under the cable car from the mountain station to the place San Valentio/St. Valentin. With the necessary bike-driving skills and technical knowledge the Haideralm Trail is a real big hit for all Enduro-fans.

Very simple line. Wide and flat trail with gentle riders and waves. Flat surface, no natural elements

Technical, difficult line. Narrow trail with tight turns and larger natural elements and obstacles like stones and roots. Partly steep sections.

This tour starts from Sexten Sesto to the church in Sexten and up direction Mitterberg. From there we follow the path on the left passing the hut "Jägerhütte" to the Monte Elmo.  From ther back passing the hut "Lärchenhütte" to Sexten/Sesto. The tour can be easily extended.

From the train station, cycle leisurely along the bike path into the idyllic Pflersch Valley and continue towards the Brenner Pass. Soon, turn left onto the Giggelberger Road, which winds uphill in gentle curves. Along the paved route, you pass blooming meadows and rustic farms until you reach Außergiggelberg – the last farms are already nestled in a stunning mountain backdrop.
Here, a forest road begins, leading further upwards through dense woods and across scenic clearings. Arriving below the Sanjoch, turn right and follow the ridge – accompanied by impressive views of the surrounding peaks – until you reach the Sandjoch. At the top, it’s worth pausing for a moment to take in the tranquility of the mountains.
The return journey follows the same route, offering more beautiful panoramic views down the valley.

Starting at the town hall square in Anterivo we drive through the village towards the Hotel Waldheim, and then we turn left towards Prà dal Manz. The route continues on easy forest trails and leads uphill until it reaches the Passo Cisa (1489m). By continuing, we arrive at the Malga Monte Corno (1710m), the highest point of the tour. We follow the pleasant declining road which brings us back to the starting point in the centre of Anterivo.
Tour Nr. 8

Possible Restaurant stops: Malga Monte Corno

 

Option of Trail n°2:

Light line. Flat trail with large curve, small natural elements like roots and stones.

The new, blue Hofratseck Trail circles playfully from the Bergkastelbahn mountain station over almost 2 kilometres through the pine trees to the Hofratseck, where it joins the red (and considerably rougher) Bergkastel Trail. However, you can also descend via a wide forest path to the valley station of the Bergkastelbahn or pedal gently uphill for 10 minutes to the Stieralm.

From Ibsenplatz, head towards the train station, descend the wide steps with a ramp, and continue into the Pflersch Valley. After about 2 km, turn left onto a forest road (1,077 m). This road climbs a little steeply at first, then continues gently into the valley until it ends at km 7.2.
Here, a trail through the forest begins – experienced bikers can ride this section, while less experienced riders may prefer to push their bikes. After another 400 m (km 7.6), the forest road resumes and leads to km 8.7. At this point, you have the first option to turn left and stop for refreshments at the Ladurnerhütte (1,731 m).
Return from the Ladurnerhütte on the same path. At km 11.1, you rejoin the forest road, which offers a pleasant descent. At km 15.2, you’ll come across a path leading to Innerpflersch (do not turn – wrong direction!). After another 500 m (km 15.7), you reach a junction: here, a slightly uphill path takes you to the welcoming Allriss-Alm (1,534 m, refreshment stop).
From here, it’s all downhill – first on a gravel road, then on asphalt – passing the sports field in Pflersch and continuing down the valley along the valley and cycle path back towards Gossensass.

Anche questo single trail ha tanto da offrire. Parte sopra Spin e rappresenta un interessante raccordo per San Valentino e per la funivia della malga San Valentino; vi accompagnerà lungo il crinale sempre in direzione sud. L'imbocco si raggiunge alla fine della parte inferiore dello Spin Trail. 

Option of Trail n° 3:

Medium difficulty line with natural elements like roots and stones, tight curves and wooden elements.

From the Etschbrücke bridge in Tschars (Winkler Inn) the trail leads along a slight climb past various farms up to Tomberg and from there to the Schartegg parking lot (1,460m). The last stretch from the parking lot to the pasture requires a little stamina, as the trail becomes steeper. The first 8.3 km are on a paved road and the rest of the route on a gravel path. The trail to the Tablander Alm mountain pasture offers various opportunities to enter the Lupo and Fontana trails. After 6.7 km and 570m gain it is possible to take the crossing Fontana Trail, and after 4.3 km and 360m gain the crossing Lupo Trail.

Sulla parte inferiore del trail Belpiano, all'ultimo incrocio con la pista da sci, il facile Giern Trail porta in direzione di San Valentino e Giern. Il Giern Trail è il collegamento con il lago di Resia e termina al maso Giernhof. Da lì si può pedalare sulla pista ciclabile per San Valentino.

From St. Valentin over the dam wall of lake Resia, the tour takes us westwards through the hamlet of Innerkaschon up to the old road towards Schöneben (above the old Reschensee road). The climb is approx. 8 km and 650 m in altitude, first on asphalt and then on gravel, mainly through forest, to the Haideralm mountain restaurant with its beautiful panoramic terrace overlooking the surrounding mountains and the two lakes. The descent leads back 350 m along the ascent route before turning on the right towards Zerzer valley. Cross the ski slope to hiking trail no. 7, which leads to the Bruggeralm alpine hut, where you can enjoy some excellent dumplings and alpine cheese in the summer months. After the bridge behind the alpine hut, turn left and follow signpost no. 8, past the St. Martin chapel to the Faulen See lake and continue down the paths to the Vinschger cycle path. Turn left and cycle comfortably along the Haidersee lake back to St. Valentin.

Note: The name "Goas" comes from the Vinschgau dialect and means goat. When farmers in this region increasingly practised "Goashaltung" in agriculture, this mountain was the grazing area for these animals.

Medium difficulty line with natural elements like roots and stones, tight curves and wooden elements.

The Altrei Loop is an ideal tour for beginners and leisure cyclists. Covering nearly 14 kilometers, it follows well-maintained gravel forest paths through the Trudner Horn Nature Park, one of South Tyrol’s most biodiverse regions. With moderate ascents and stunning views, it provides a relaxing outdoor experience. The best time to ride is late spring, summer, and autumn.

From Reschen go north towards the Austrian border. Just 500 m before the valley station of the Bergkastel cable car (Nauders), take a sharp right along a fairly steep gravel road to the mountain station. Stop for refreshments in the Bergkastel mountain restaurant. Here starts the most beautiful part of the tour: return to the ascent path to the Bergkastelalpe and continue to the left to the high moorland of Plamortböden and the anti-tank barrages that are also well known across the border. From here on use the forest road or the beautifully laid out trails (S2). After passing the barriers, the view opens up over the Vinschgau Valley with its unique lake landscape from the vantage point on the rock. With a breathtaking view descend to Reschen: on the technical and partly more demanding Bunker Trail (no. 101, S2), with the subsequent Etsch Trail (no. 102, S1) leading into the forest, or on the forest road to Reschen. Once back there, enjoy a typical aperitif.

Option Trail n°1: Very simple line. Wide and flat trail with gentle riders and waves. Flat surface, no natural elements

It's hard to believe that the Mitterberg / Monte di Mezzo – this oblong, heavily forested mountain situated between the Etsch / Adige Valley and lake Caldaro – is crisscrossed by more than 600 km of trails, but it's true! The network of bike trails here is so complicated that you'll have to take care to maintain your bearings. The expansive Stein Valley is actually only a shallow depression near the highest point of the Mitterberg – which has an altitude of about 650 meters, and at the summit of which there is a large antenna station. You begin the ascent by first cycling downhill from Kaltern / Caldaro on the bicycle path towards Lake Caldaro, but after a few meters, you'll have to take a sharp left turn into a forest trail which is asphalted at the bottom. At the beginning, there is an only slight uphill grade. But starting at the Montiggl Plateau, it becomes much steeper. When you've gotten a little farther, a gravel trail starts. This gravel trail is only slightly uphill, and will take you to the entrance to the expansive Stein Valley. The route through the Stein Valley is virtually level, so you'll encounter nothing requiring any significant technical skill. The big, moss-covered boulders in the forest will catch your eye; they are found on both sides of the forest trail, and give the valley its name. Once you've gotten to the other side of the Stein Valley, you'll have two options to pedal downhill: The following description applies to the easy asphalt trail (which is nonetheless off limits for motor vehicles). Once you've descended, you can pedal along the level road to the west of the Montiggl Lakes towards Eppan. From there, you should take the bicycle trail along the former railroad line and bike back to Kaltern. In the summertime, the Montiggl Lakes are a popular destination for outdoor swimming, and you can enjoy a slice of delicious, home-made pie and cake in any one of the beach cafes. But please note the large number of pedestrians and hikers you'll encounter along the way to the lakes when the weather is nice. All in all, the Stein Valley is an easy mountainbike tour and, because it will take you mostly through shadowy forest, is to be preferred on hot days.

Variants: This tour can also be combined with the "Girlan / Cornaiano" tour.

Mustn't be missed: The Montiggl Lakes.

Option of Trail n° 3:

Medium difficulty line with natural elements like roots and stones, tight curves and wooden elements.

The Gerry Trail makes the hearts of experienced bikers beat faster. Very playful, it winds its way down the valley and offers many a technical challenge. But: every spot can be easily bypassed and the lower part is more relaxed to master.

A literal highlight: The green Zirmtrail (S0) starts at 2,500 metres and winds beautifully over 5 kilometres through the alpine landscape down to the Bergkastel high plateau. It is not only one of the easiest, but also one of the most beautiful and varied trails in the Alps, serving up fun for trail novices and endurists alike. Peppered with countless undulations and curves, jumps and stone fields. That's why the Zirmtrail is also the preferred warm-up loop for 3-country enduro riders. It was built completely without foreign materials and with its single trail character it blends naturally into the landscape.

Option of Trail n°2:

Light line. Flat trail with large curve, small natural elements like roots and stones.

Before setting off on this tour, it is legitimate to think about the delicious Kaiserschmarren at the Rescher Alm. Follow the cycle path along the lakeshore from Reschen towards the Schöneben valley station. From the valley station, cycle uphill on the main road, in the direction of Rojen and then in the direction of St. Valentin to the hamlet of Spin. Shortly after the Spin´s farm, take a sharp right onto the forest and meadow path. In the forest, bend the way north above lake Resia and the Rojen road past a small forest lake (1,850 m). Follow the forest road, meet the Rojen road a little later and follow it to the trendy Rescher Alm hut. Here, at an altitude of 2,000 m, with a splendid view from the terrace, enjoy one of the best lunches. From the Rescher Alm alpine hut, continue north along the forest road, down to Tenders, where the Tendershof farmhouse invites for refreshment. From here, it is not far to the final destination: Reschen. Tip: For enduro enthusiasts: there is the option of rocking down via the 3-Länder Trail in the direction of Nauders to the Mutzkopf. From Mutzkopf, take one of the trails to Nauders.

The tour starts at the Bike Academy Infopoint and leads uphill to the Mitterberg Fortress. After a short, rather crisp climb, the route then goes in the direction of the alpine pastures on a relatively flat terrain. After about 20 minutes you reach the so-called "Saumahd" (1,750m), where you turn left to the Klammbach Alp. A wide forest path connects the Klammbach Alp with the Nemes Alp, which is the next destination of the tour. As a small highlight, however, you can also choose hiking trail no. 13. This trail is a little more demanding in parts, with a short carrying passage of approx. 100m. Before reaching the Nemes Alp, take trail no. 146 to the Coltrondo Alp. From there the 149 leads in the direction of the Kreuzbergpass. This initially runs along a demanding trail (S2), which can, however, be bypassed via the so-called "Krötensee". Then you take the forest road to the Nemes Alp/ Coltrondo Alp junction, where hiking trail no. 130 leads in the direction of "Schwarzsee". From there it's an exciting, partly challenging trail, called “Wurzelweg”, which leads you back to the valley station of the Drei Zinnen cable car.
